Just started working on it, will try to keep it as updated as possible when time allows. *NOTE* JUST STARTED IT today so its not even 1/3 of the way done. I may add study guides, etc. like I said though, as time allows

As much as I write, I hate writing. A book from me would be incoherent since I come from different areas of security. I actually started a book two years ago but it was so scattered I gave up. Besides the things I would write about would likely get me put on watchlists or some other form of trouble

ADDED (forgot to mention):Updated the page with links... Still working on it

I know you are not done (so I am almost tempted to not say anything but I want to throw this out there). Where would you put GCIA? IMO that should be under a "network security" (the same thing with GCFW and GAWN).

I would place (likely going to) under Incident Response and Forensics as thats where it belongs I haven't started on Network Security yet because I am likely going to do something NO ONE WILL LIKE and that is to post information relevant to CCNA/CCDP which teaches A LOT about networking from the protocol on up and includes security. While it is vendor specific, those two courses will teach you more about NETWORK security than the GCIA would. A network to me are OSI layers 1 - 4 and function outside of Windows/Linux, etc. Networking will also be forked into specifics, likely Firewalls, IDS/IPS and "Broad" for other certs like SANS' GCED, etc. still working on it.

They are a bit too scattered for me to browse through their information. I will go over Security University's offerings, but they too are a bit scattered for me. I will check out IACIS however, my list is based on a few criteria: I have heard about it, read about it, it is in demand (visible in say a Dice.com or Monster.com search) and it makes sense to me. There should be no reason why I would have to go to a "certification" giver and try to make sense of what they're offering. Under: http://mile2.com/mile2-courses.html they state one thing, then on the other page they state another: Course: CPTE followed by.... "formerly old CPTE" which is it? Let them sort it out.
